Not what I'm looking for.
That simulates 1:1 scale planes (full size).

I am talking about one I can use to practice flying without risking my real 
planes on the first attempt. I need one where I can use my own transmitter 
connected to the computer. There are cables to hook them up to the USB-port.

But the problem is finding a decent one that actually runs on Linux. All the 
commercial ones I can find are MS Windows only.
